TRICKS ON THE STAGE.
4 Thrilling Life and Death struggI,

Some time ago there was on exhibition,
IN New York, what was called the wonder
| ful electrical man
That wonder" now says he was always
secretly connected nth a tduerg so arranged
as 10 defeat discovery
Many . freaks of nature are only freaks
OF clever deceptive skill.
Bishop, the mind-reader, so-called, was
shown To be only shrewd student of hui
man nature, whose reading of thought was
not phenomenal
Even so intelligent a man as Robert Dale
Owen was for many years fully persuaded
that certain alleged spiritual manifestations
were genuine, but, in the Katie King case
he eventually found that he had been Ie-
morselessly deceived.
When to natural eredulity is added a
somewhat easily fired Imagination, spectres
become facts, and clever tricks realities
That man, remarked prominent ply

comes here regularly three times week for

And he pays for il? :"

to cater to his imaginary ills. He is one of
my best friends, and / dare not dissappoint
his fears.
An even more striking case of profession
al delusiou is related by w III. Winton,
business manager Of the Kingston On. y
Freeman:
In 1888, Mr.. X. r., of New York, Ia rela-
tive OF a late vice-president of the United
States was seriously i'll Of a very fatal dis
order. The best physicians attended him,
but, until the last one was tried he con
stantly grew worse. This doctor gave him
some medicine in two ounce bottle. I'm
proving, he got another bottle, paying 81
for each. He was getting relief after hay-
ing used several of these mysterious small
bottles.
zone day he laid one on his desk in his
New York office. In the same office a
friend was using a remedy put up in large
bottle. by pure accident it was found out
that these two bottles contained exactly
the same medicine, the two-ounce vial cost
ing the doctors patient s., while his friend
paid but lbs for a bottle holding over six
teen ounces of Warmers safe cure. The
doctors services were stopped at once, the
man continued treating himself with what
his doctor had secretly prescribed---W Warmers
safe cure, which finally restored him to
health from an attack of what his doctors
called brights disease
If the leading physicians in the land,
through fear of the code, will secretly pre-
scribe Warmers safe cure in all cases of kid
ney, liver, and general disorder, do they
not thereby confess their own inability To
cure it, and by the strongest sort of en-
dorsement commend that preparation to
tie public?
We hear it warmly spoken of in every
direction, and We have no doubt whatever
that it IS, all things considered, the very
best article of the kind ever known

OF American engineers, who We're con-

and rested on Sunday at little Indian vii

the afternoon, as we were all lying asleep
IN our hammocks, there came terrible
screaming and crying from the village, and
We ran TO see what was up.
1t seemed that several boys had been
bathing in the river Just below the village,
when all at once, without the slightest
warning, one of them had been seized and
drawn under the turbid waters by the great
devil cayman, as the Indians called one of
these creatures which had long been q ter

several days, We waited until we thought it
was about time for the cayman to be hungry

inside of him a stone bottle containing five
pounds of powder, inserted in it the ends

to strong ropes of equal length, and con-

Lafarge laughs again and opens her
rosy mouth to speak. But the words
die on her lips, for at this instant the
door bell rings. And there is some
thing so peculiar and imperative in the
sound of the bell that dear Marion
springs to her feet in alarm and con-
| sternation.
All the lovely pink color in her
blonde face fades away; involuntarily
her hands clench upon her breast.
She stoops slightly, with her ear in
clined toward the door She shakes,
trembles. ODE has answered the bell,
and she hears the measured voice of
the caller as he says co1dly
II wish to see Miss Lafarge."
The look of fright upon her face
deepens into one of abject terror. Her
teeth chatter. A chill shakes her from
head to heel. Her face is CHASTITY; her
lips livid. "Iost" she mutters huskily
between her dry lips, "lost"

| is it?"
Miss Lafarge evidently does not hear
the question. Certainly she does not
heed it.
Marion, you need see no one, if you
choose not to-" Miss Chidley says,
reassuringly. what has frightened
you?"
Miss Lafarge is shaking like an
aspen; still she makes no reply.
The parlor door swings open and
Obe's woolly head is thrust into the
room. "a gentleman to see Miss La
FARCE" says ODE, placing card in
front of the trembling girl.
Her blue eyes glance over the name
written on the card, and wilder ter
ror leaps into them.
She shrinks downtown; she seems
to actually grow smaller-to wither and
shriyel up within herself. Her hands
clench more tightly; the white foam
gathers about her blue lips.
There is great square table stand
ing between herself and the door. A
heavy silken scarf drapes this table,
whose fringed ends come down to the
floor. Miss Lafarge suddenly sways
forward, and falls lightly beneath this
table, as a short, squat man, with broad
shoulders and a sweeping black beard,
enters the parlor From where he
stands he cannot see her, and does not
see her.

spinster wonders how in the world she
managed to exist before her dear Marion
came to Stubblefeld Even the wicked
little ponies themselves seem to have
succumbed to the spell of her presence,
for they behave with tolerable decency
whenever Miss Lafarge rides behind

Dear Marion" ODE is the solitary
exception. But, as Miss Chidley very
truly remarked, lobe was always on
the contrary side, anyway, and his opin-
ion was of no consequence"
At first Miss Lafarge refused to be-
lieve IN Obe's dislike of herself. But
at last, perceiving it was true, she de-
termined that she would "stoop to con-
quer, and thereupon brought the en-
tire battery of her sweet smiles, her
pleasant words and her engaging man
ners to bear upon the black boy.
But her efforts were all without the
desired effect. ODE remained obdu-
rate, and only watched her the more
closely from the corners of his big eyes,
charming young lady.

body who could tame the terrible po-
MES, Miss Chidley says.
And perhaps this was true.
Finding her efforts were wasted upon
the colored boy, Miss Lafarge changed
her tactics, and whereas she had once
been kind to him, she is quite the con-
trary now. Sometimes, even, when
they are quite alone together, she car
ries her dislike so far as to lean forward
and snap her little white teeth at him
in way that makes his wool stand
up on top of his head, and brings little
cold chills creeping along his spinal
column
And there is something so strange in
the steely CLEAN of the blue eyes as
they meet his own, something so ire

white teeth snap together, that ODE al

Outward bound, the swallows winging

Seemed but heavens JOY bells ringing
Down through d0sky, purpling leaves,
TIL the scarlet ivy's climbing
Showed purple, clustered printing
Long the blacken'd windswept caves.
Then the woodland echoes dying,
Sound like vfnquished spirits signing
Ihro' the lonely hollows flying
Mid the cold lights glinting there;
And vex me with question,
Is this death, or but suggestion2
Is this sobbing sound prayer?

Clinging to the garden wall;

And vision glides before me
